Continuing the string of updates from internet cafes.

Still not dead!

Currently in Budapest. Got ripped off at the train-station exchange office, wandered through the crappy run-down neighborhood near the station, managed to find the river and from there the tourist places. Yay! Budapest might possibly beat Paris for sheer quantity of imposing neo-Classical architecture, even in the beat-up parts of town. See also: St Stephen's Basilica. It is beautiful and holy crap you guys I am all alone in a city where I don't speak a word of the local language.

Yesterday was Slovenia with [livejournal.com profile] queenofthewilis. (Augh, finding punctuation on the Hungarian keyboard is hard!) First Ljubljana, then Lake Bled, both of which were beautiful and a bit more low-key than the super-touristy places I've been to so far. Bled in particular was lovely, and we had silly conversations about the waterfowl and much fun was had.

Aaaand tonight I get on a night train to Krakow. And this time I will not be an idiot, and will look up the exchange rates before I go.

Yay! :) I wonder if it'll be very crowded at the Wawel now though, since they just buried the president there.

Sounds like an exhausting, but fun trip.

Glad to know you're still enjoying your travels. By the way, I got your postcard from Digne today. Thank you!

Those ducks were crazy. Except for the one without a leg, that one was cute.

It was fun seeing you! :)
